معرفی
Alessandro Derzelle is a researcher affiliated with the Research Unit in Environmental and Evolutionary Biology, focusing on the unique genomic and evolutionary characteristics of bdelloid rotifers. His work intersects genomics, evolutionary biology, and bioinformatics.
Research interests include horizontal gene transfer, chromosome dynamics, and long-read genome assembly in non-model organisms. His studies on Adineta vaga explore mechanisms of desiccation resistance and genetic recombination in asexual species.
Recent publications (2021) analyze chromosome-level genome assembly and haplotype processing in bdelloids, while a 2014 chapter highlights ancient horizontal gene acquisition. Collaborations span institutions like Université de Lille and Université catholique de Louvain.
